Tips for Perfect Hoisin Beef Noodles
- Slice beef thinly for the most tender bites.
- Use high heat to quickly sear the beef and keep veggies crisp.
- Customize your veggies – mushrooms, bok choy, snow peas, or broccoli are great options.
- Add spice with chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha if you like heat.
How to Store & Reheat
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or broth to loosen the noodles.
